Favorites Pro About Favorites PRO is a Unity tool that allows to build levels and content much faster. It allows you to

store and search your favorites, while also maintaining a detailed history of your actions, allowing

you to find assets you’ve recently used. Thirdly Favorites PRO also allows to see what assets are

most recently used in the current scene, again speeding up the process of finding the assets you

need, when you need it.

Main elements

The window has three main panes in which asset information is stored:

• Favorites: Your own custom favorites

• History: A list of actions you taken; adding, pasting and duplicating assets

• Scene data: A list of all the prefabs used in the current scene (Sorted by usage count)

Nesting the window When you import Favorites PRO the first time, the window will open automatically. It is

recommended to nest it next to either the Hierarchy or Project window, but obviously that is up to

you. If you want to stop making the window open automatically, you can toggle that setting in

Preferences.

Favorites When in the favorites pane, you are able to see all the assets and folders you have added to your

favorites. The list is searchable and can be restricted by type. Each individual asset has a small

thumbnail image that allows you to get an overview. You can also have folders marked as favorites, if

that fits your workflow better.

Adding new favorite There are two ways of adding new favorites to your list:

1. (Shortcut key) Select a prefab in the hierarchy window, or any asset in the project window

and the pressing CTRL-T

2. (Context menu) Right click the asset and choose “Favorites PRO Add asset to favorites”

Searching favorites The search bar allows you to search your favorites in a convenient way.

By pressing the little magnifying glass, you will be able to choose which asset types you want to

search.

Whatever you write in the search bar will search all assets in your favorites list. It searches through

Asset name, Asset path and Asset type.

History The History tab keeps track of all your action adding, copying and duplicating assets. That means you

will always have a list where you can find assets you’ve recently used. The list can either by sorted by

history, or by frequency which means the assets you use the most will be on top.

Scene Data Scene data holds a list of all the prefabs used in current scene. Its sorted my usage, so you will always

be able to find the assets most used in that scene.
